Short version

Focus Timer stores everything on your own computer. It has no server, no account, and it makes no network requests at all. It has no access to any website and cannot see what you browse.

What the extension stores

On your device, in Chrome's local extension storage:

your labels, meaning the names and colours you create

one record per focus session: when it started, when it ended, how long it ran, which label you chose, and whether you finished it or stopped early

your settings: timer lengths, and whether breaks and chimes are on

Breaks are not recorded.

Where it is stored

In Chrome's local extension storage on your computer. It is not uploaded, not synced to any server, and not shared with the developer or anyone else. Removing the extension deletes it.

What is not collected

No personal details, accounts or sign-in of any kind

No analytics, tracking or advertising

No browsing history, and no access to the pages you visit

Nothing is sold or shared with third parties

Network activity

None. The extension makes no network requests of any kind. The chime is generated in the browser rather than downloaded, and there are no fonts, scripts or images loaded from anywhere.

Permissions and why they exist

Storage — to keep your sessions, labels and settings on your device.
